Systematics and diversification of the Ichthyomyini (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) revisited: evidence from molecular, morphological, and combined approaches

Jorge Salazar-Bravo et al.

Summary: This study conducted an integrative study of the systematics and biogeography of the Neotropical cricetid rodents, Ichthyomyini. The results obtained are inconsistent with the currently accepted classification and understanding of the tribe. It was also found that Ichthyomyini is one of the main Andean radiations of sigmodontine cricetids with an evolutionary history dating to the Late Miocene.

Cenozoic ash-fall deposits in the Andean foreland basins, Northwest Argentina (23°-26°S) - Key to reconstruct their chrono-stratigraphy and to identify links to the Andean Neogene ignimbrite flare-up

Beatriz Coira et al.

Summary: This study reviews the Neogene ash-fall deposits in the Andean foreland basins in NW Argentina, analyzing their stratigraphy, petrography, geochemistry, and geochronology. The distribution of these deposits is found to be influenced by volcanic events, wind patterns, and the Southern Central Andes volcanism.

About the diversity of Dasypodidae (Xenarthra, Cingulata) along the Late Miocene of northwestern Argentina: The case of the Salicas Formation

Daniel Barasoain et al.

Summary: New remains of Dasypodidae have been discovered in the Neogene Salicas Formation in La Rioja Province, Argentina, indicating a Late Miocene age and adding to the diversity of this formation. The association of dasypodids suggests affinities with Late Miocene localities in northwestern Argentina, with some species being endemic to the region. These differences may be related to tectonic and paleoenvironmental factors.

Late Miocene mammals from the Calchaqui Valley (Palo Pintado Formation, northwestern Argentina): Biogeographic and paleoenvironmental implications for the southern central Andes

A. M. Candela et al.

Summary: This study reports new caviomorph rodents from the Palo Pintado Formation in the Angastaco Basin, with a time range from ~9.3 Ma to ~6.1 Ma. The late Miocene mammals of the Palo Pintado Formation are found to be compatible with forested environments developed under humid and warm conditions, suggesting a close biogeographic relationship between different regions during that period.

Plio-Pleistocene paleoenvironmental evolution of the intermontane Humahuaca Basin, southern Central Andes

Claudia Galli et al.

Summary: The study of the Plio-Pleistocene intermontane Humahuaca Basin in the Central Andes of NW Argentina provides insights into the influence of regional tectonism and uplift history on depositional patterns and paleoenvironmental changes. The sedimentary record of the basin, comprising conglomerates, sandstones, and siltstones with volcanic tuffs, indicates freshwater lacustrine conditions transitioning to evaporative conditions towards the top. The basin was already bounded by uplifted mountain ranges during deposition, leading to the formation of distinct sedimentary facies.

Comprehensive total evidence phylogeny of chinchillids (Rodentia, Caviomorpha): Cheek teeth anatomy and evolution

Luciano L. Rasia et al.

Summary: Rodents, particularly caviomorph rodents in South America, exhibit remarkable morphological diversity and have a complex evolutionary history. Chinchilloidea, a poorly understood clade within Caviomorpha, includes extant and extinct families with diverse phylogenetic positions. The phylogenetic analysis reveals three major lineages within Chinchilloidea, each consisting of different extant and extinct taxa.

Evolutionary trends of body size and hypsodonty in notoungulates and their probable drivers

Andres Solorzano et al.

Summary: Members of the Order Notoungulata were diverse and common mammals in South America during the Cenozoic, with several lineages showing a trend towards increased body size and hypsodonty. The evolution of body mass and hypsodonty in typotherians and toxodonts were closely linked. Species sorting played a significant role in the macroevolution of some notoungulate clades, with taxa exhibiting high teeth crown and body mass having lower extinction rates. The development of hypsodonty in notoungulates reflects adaptive responses to the availability of volcanic or other terrigenous particles in the Andean mountain building process during the Cenozoic.

New radiometric 40Ar-39Ar dates and faunistic analyses refine evolutionary dynamics of Neogene vertebrate assemblages in southern South America

Francisco J. Prevosti et al.

Summary: The vertebrate fossil record in the Pampean Region of Argentina plays a crucial role in South American vertebrate paleontology, providing the basis for understanding major patterns of vertebrate evolution. New 40Ar/39Ar dates and biochronological analyses help to calibrate Late Miocene-Pliocene faunal successions, establishing age ranges for different faunal stages. This information contributes to a better understanding of the timing of important evolutionary events and extinctions in South America.

First phylogenetic analysis of the Miocene armadillo Vetelia reveals novel affinities with Tolypeutinae

Daniel Barasoain et al.

Summary: This study provides the first description of the skull of the genus Vetelia and amends the diagnosis of its three known species, including Vetelia in morphological phylogenetic analysis, revealing a closer affinity to the Tolypeutinae. The proposal fills an important temporal gap in the evolutionary history of the Tolypeutinae lineage. New information on the diagnostic morphological characters of the Priodontini and Tolypeutini is also provided.

A unique cricetid experiment in the northern high-Andean Paramos deserves tribal recognition

Ulyses F. J. Pardinas et al.

Summary: Neomicroxus is a genus of high-Andean cricetids with unique morphological features and hypsodonty, likely evolved in response to volcanic ash falls during the Neogene. Its isolated phylogenetic position and morphological convergence suggest the need for a new tribe classification within the cricetid family.

New data on the diversity and chronology of late Neogene sloths (Xenarthra, Folivora) from the Villavil-Quillay Basin, Catamarca, Argentina

Ricardo A. Bonini et al.

Summary: This study expands the fossil record of ground sloths in Catamarca Province from the late Miocene to late Pliocene and correlates it with the biozones proposed for the region. The presence of Megatheriinae Pyamidontherium sp. in sediments younger than 5 Ma, the extensive record of Nothrotheriinae Pronothrotherium typicum spanning more than 3 Ma, and the oldest record of the genus Proscelidodon represented by Proscelidodon gracillimus are highlighted in this research.
